John Bombalicki, Captain at De-Bait-Able Fishing Adventures

Make the most of your time on Lake Erie and join De-Bait-Able Fishing Adventures for a fun, hands-on day catching Walleye and Yellow Perch. Captain John has spent countless hours learning these waters and knows exactly where and how to put you on fish. Whether you’re new to the lake or have fished it before, you’ll appreciate his patience, humor, and deep local knowledge.


Depending on the season, you could be trolling, drifting, or jigging for Walleye, or filling your cooler with tasty Yellow Perch. The bite changes with the time of year, but Captain John keeps things exciting by mixing up the techniques and targeting the most active fish. He provides all the rods, reels, tackle, and lures you’ll need. Live bait is also available when it makes sense for the day’s conditions and target species.


Your ride for the trip is a 22’ Wellcraft center console, ideal for smaller groups of up to four anglers. It’s clean, safe, and built for fishing the open waters of Lake Erie. The back deck can get a little tight when the action heats up, but there’s plenty of room up front to relax while moving between spots. Just keep in mind there’s no bathroom on board, and the occasional spray from the lake is part of the adventure — Captain John does his best to keep everyone comfortable and dry.


Families are always welcome! Kids will love being part of the action, and parents can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Be sure to check if child-sized life vests are available, or bring your own just in case. Feel free to pack snacks and drinks, but leave the glass bottles and hard liquor at home. Moderate alcohol is fine, and bottled water is always a good idea.


Before your trip, remember that everyone will need a valid Ohio fishing license. You can easily purchase one online or ask the captain for help finding the right information. Bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and a hat for comfort during the day.


From early-morning starts to golden sunsets over the lake, fishing with De-Bait-Able Fishing Adventures is all about good company, local experience, and steady action. Captain John’s goal is simple — to make sure everyone leaves smiling, with fish in the cooler and stories to tell.


Come aboard De-Bait-Able Fishing Adventures and experience Lake Erie the way locals do — one cast at a time.
